Ingredients

Scale
Bowl:
  • 1/2 lb uncooked brown rice
  • 1/2 lb raw shrimp
  • 2 tsp taco seasoning
  • 1 avocado, sliced or cubed
  • 1 cup corn, fresh or canned
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Cilantro Lime Dressing:
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 3 Tbsp chopped cilantro
  • 2 Tbsp sour cream
  • 1½ Tbsp lime juice

Instructions

Step 1: Preparation

  • Cook the brown rice according to package instructions and set aside.
  • In a bowl, toss the raw shrimp with taco seasoning until evenly coated.

Step 2:Cook the shrimp

  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque.
  • Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3:Assemble

  • Assemble the bowls by dividing the cooked brown rice among serving bowls.
  • Top with cooked shrimp, avocado slices or cubes, corn, and cherry tomatoes.

Step 4: Prepare the sauce

  • In a separate small bowl, prepare the cilantro lime dressing by whisking together mayonnaise, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, sour cream, and lime juice until well combined.
  • Drizzle the cilantro lime dressing over the bowls or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.

Step 5: End and enjoy

  • Garnish with additional cilantro leaves or lime wedges, if desired.
  • Serve the brown rice shrimp bowls with tomatoes and avocado immediately and enjoy this delicious and nutritious meal!

Equipment

Notes

  • Rinse the brown rice thoroughly in cold water to remove excess starch before cooking. This will help to improve the texture and overall taste of the rice.
  • Cook the shrimp quickly over high heat to avoid overcooking and toughening. Keep an eye on the color and texture of the shrimp, and remove them from the heat as soon as they turn pink and slightly curled.
  • To prevent the avocado from turning brown, add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice before mixing it into the bowl. This will help to preserve its color and freshness. Also, add the avocado just before serving the dish to avoid it turning mushy.
